Dennis O'Dell Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Denny was whip smart, a deep thinker, honest, and a true "they don't make 'em like that anymore" kind of guy. Denny's family and friends will hold memories of him tinkering on his various cars and boats, practicing his swing at the driving range, and laughing heartily, quite possibly at something a little inappropriate.
Denny was a treasured son, brother, father, grandfather, uncle, and cousin. He is survived by his brother Stephen "Terry", sister Kimberly, son Shane, daughter-in-law Amy, stepdaughter Amanda, son-in-law Jason, and grandchildren Lucy, Franklin, Vander, Eliza, and Jasper. A special thank you to Dianne Birchmeier for her companionship and caregiving.
Family will privately honor Denny's life in his hometown of Hartland, MI. Donations can be made to the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots
